ANDRÉ GAVINO 1 - My role as member of the TC in the PPF is to control the time and the point in each game of the PC. I use a megaphone to inform about the time and a horn to get games started. My essential gear is my watch, it is always with me. Besides that, I assess the referee teams so that they are the fairest possible, making competition more balanced. 2 - Some of the players have never read the rules; they don’t know what the roles of the people in charge of the PPF are. A little bit more of information before going to the game would make things easier already. 3 - During the games, players think I am there to jeopardize them, they constantly argue with me because I am the closest person. They think I trick the clock, insinuating I am partial but actually they would have to know me better to know I’m not fooled easily, I just own time! Surreal? Nothing special.
